When I examine my dislike of certain individuals, I am startled to find that the characteristics I am least tolerant of are those I hate in myself. ~ For Today (Kindle Locations 1545-1546).I hear catty comments,
tsk-tsk in my head
though I know my mastery
of the art. Trivialize folk
who are bigoted...
and those lacking in education.
I well know the truth of despising
my own faults when seen in others,
ignoring them in me. But now,
even those folks I've hated
seem just human, trying to get by.
It appears when you taught me
I didn't have to hate myself
I lost the art of vilifying you.
